If your public library does not have the publications you are looking for, another option (for college alumni) is to see if you can purchase an Alumni membership to the library at your alma mater. Colleges tend to have a very robust catalog of periodicals and journals, accessed through services such as EBSCOhost. Certainly this option will cost somewhat more that ‘free’ ($30/year in the case of my college), but if the public library cannot supply what you need, this option may still be cheaper than subscriptions to individual magazines/websites.

Thanks for the advice! I always get so annoyed when I cannot get the Consumer Reports I search for when picking a purchase….I don’t want to get the online membership for like 30 bucks….and I just used our local library system and that, plus tons of other helpful stuff is right on there, just just a form to fill out and a few clicks

And I forgot to add, I also think this will be an extremely valuable resource for my children to research their school reports. The information contained in the magazines is more authoritative than wikipedia or many online sources, but now is just as easily accessible.

This is just an awesome tip! And I thought I was wise in the ways of the innernets! I had no idea this was here. I love magazines too, but hate to pay for them and don’t really have the luxury to hang out at the library browsing through them there. I’ll be off catching up on The Economist now…

Yes, just as you stated in the article I went to the San Francisco main library website and there under articles & databases is a huge list of what’s available. Makes me want to go out and get my library card renewed. Thanks for the tip!
